STRUCT BATADV_ORIG_BAT_IV(9)

💅 struct batadv_orig_bat_iv(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today’s main character is struct batadv_orig_bat_iv, and it is lowkey giving “tiny struct, serious lock energy.” This is the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV private orig_node members situation, and we are keeping every detail, periodt.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct batadv_orig_bat_iv — the B.A.T.M.A.N. IV private orig_node members. that’s the name, that’s the vibe, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole struct is literally this, bestie:

struct batadv_orig_bat_iv {
    spinlock_t ogm_cnt_lock;
};

no hidden extra fields in the group chat — just the one lock member, fr fr 🎀

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• ogm_cnt_lock — the lock protecting batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv.bcast_own, batadv_orig_ifinfo_bat_iv.bcast_own_sum, batadv_neigh_ifinfo_bat_iv.bat_iv.real_bits and batadv_neigh_ifinfo_bat_iv.real_packet_count. this lock is carrying the whole struct on its back and it is serving 💅✨
